So this was the problem : a fine particule of dust on the backlight of the tpu. But at the wrong place : ie at the calibration position (which is not at the same place with the epson software !). It's necessary to clean not only the glass, but also the backlight ! Now, the scanner work very well until the 1200 dpi. But at a higher level (2400 and 3600) it seems there is a shake of the line. Is it what it is expected ? Nevertheless, thank for all your help and advice :-)
